Accurate ITR Filing Starts Before the Portal

An income tax return combines salary, property, investments, business or professional activity, other income, deductions, losses, taxes and mandatory disclosures for one assessment year.

Prefilled information helps, but it can be incomplete or differently classified. A reliable filing reconciles actual records with AIS, TIS, Form 26AS and the applicable ITR schedules.

Good filing practice: determine the correct form first, then compute income and tax. Do not force complex facts into a simpler return.

Taxpayer questions

Income Tax Return Filing FAQs

Practical answers aligned with current e-filing portal guidance.

01Who should file an income tax return in India?

Filing depends on total income, taxpayer status and additional statutory conditions such as specified transactions, foreign assets or other prescribed criteria. A return may also be filed for refund or eligible loss carry-forward.

02Which ITR form should I use?

The correct form depends on status, residential status and income sources. Capital gains, business income, directorship, unlisted shares, foreign assets and carried-forward losses can make simplified forms inapplicable.

03Is Form 16 enough for filing ITR?

No. Form 16 supports salary and TDS, but taxpayers should also review bank interest, investments, property, capital gains, other income, deductions, AIS, TIS and Form 26AS.

04What is the difference between AIS and Form 26AS?

Form 26AS primarily reflects tax credits and specified information, while AIS provides a broader information statement. Both should be reconciled with actual records rather than copied blindly.

05Can I claim a refund after excess TDS?

A refund may be claimed through the applicable return when computed tax is lower than available tax credit. Credit matching, bank validation and processing affect the outcome; no adviser can guarantee refund timing.

06What happens if I choose the wrong tax regime?

The result depends on taxpayer type, business income and the applicable year. Compare both regimes before filing and review whether the choice or opt-out requires a separate form or has future-year restrictions.

07How long do I have to e-verify the ITR?

The Income Tax Department currently states that e-verification or submission of ITR-V must be completed within 30 days from filing. Delayed verification can alter the filing date or make the return invalid, subject to condonation rules.

08Can an income tax return be corrected after filing?

Depending on the error and statutory window, a revised return, updated return, rectification or response to a communication may apply. These routes are not interchangeable.
